001 Shot Fired [text; action for Rocket Base]

I'm going to list a series of words.

If they are at all familiar to you please respond otherwise dismiss this.

Cold War
Spetsnaz
Lyndon B. Johnson
Nikita Khrushchev
Tselinoyarsk

[About an hour later on the Rocket frequency:]

My name is Adamska. Code name Ocelot. Call me either. I'm a GRU Major if that means anything to any of you.

I would like to speak with whomever is in charge here.

That's no problem.

[And it really isn't. He has a lot of people above him in the chain of command back home.]

Then I'll defer to the highest ranking officer here I can speak with.

I might have.

The clues are there.

Major Ocelot of Spetsnaz.

[Eeexcept technically not anymore.]

If you're looking for a mission to rank up, you missed your chance with the train incident.

I mean to speak plainly about the situation of my arrival and my position within the organization.

The sort of conversation a soldier should have when first recruited.

[So serious about everything.]

I've heard that there's four of them. One for each of the department... Proton is the one who oversees the science lab. Not sure about the others.

...You didn't get the booklet?

A nexus? What are you talking about?

I did, but I'm a soldier. I prefer things to go "by the book" if you'll excuse the pun.

What about high ranking individuals who frequent the network? How many of them are there?

yeah plenty of us are from Earth don't worry

_{[Though 'Cold War' is the only thing she recognizes. She always hated history.]}

...That's a good question actually. I don't think anyone's been given a promotion but give me a second.

[Meanwhile Crocker is checking the database.]

Ah-ha! There's twenty-one of us if you include the two of us and all of them are GRUNTS!

It's a biology term. It's a type of membrane that connects two cells together so that they can communicate. Otherwise known as a gap junction.

What I'm saying is I don't think everyone who finds themselves here is from the same world as I know it and my terms were a checklist to see who would know. Four of them are fairly generic; the fifth specifies it down to only my world precisely.

What

[Too shocked for proper grammar right now.]

That's impossible.

[What about the chain of command.]

Yes, I'm surprised as well... Considering one of our members blew up the Burned Tower.

Unless, someone failed to give me an update. That's where it stands.

Why is this impossible?

There are ranks and orders to the military. Rigidity.

I didn't expect to speak with the head of the organization but I also didn't expect there to be nothing but people with the same low rank as myself.

That doesn't make any sense.

[You've got to be fucking kidding. Raikov immediately switches over to video and glares daggers at the younger Major.]

YOU. You good for nothing, back stabbing piece of shit! How dare you show your face here!

[Someone's bitter than you never bothered to save him after Volgin died.]

You're the second one seeking out the person in charge that I've spoken to recently; while I can't blame either of you, unfortunately you're going to have to get in line if that's what you really want.

In the meantime, I have enough authority within the organization to answer at least some of the questions you may have.

[He grabs it and opens it curiously.

So it's not big but that's not a problem. It'll make keeping track of things a little easier, maybe.]

Thank you.

One more question: I take it no one is sure why people are brought here to begin with?

[ Well aren't we a smarty-pants. ]

You must be the calmest of the people who's ever been brought here. Most people spend their time freaking out and wanting to get home.

I hope you're planning on offering a few answers in exchange. Quid pro quo, after all.

But you're right. If there's a reason for it, it's not one we've figured out yet.

[Once you realize who this is, Snake, it won't surprise you at all.]

I won't say I don't want to return home because I do, but I've made something of a career out of dealing with bad situations.

[Excuse Crocker he's just laughing like a crazy manic for a few moments.]

No one's explained - POKEMON to you yet, have they?

[And here's a very, very confused looking 20 year old.

Raikov looks..... almost a decade older?]

What are you talking about?

Not so bad, then.

There are plenty of video games set in the cold war, so I know of it...

[~~he hasn't aged that badly. sob.~~]

Don't act dumb! Disappearing after the-
